Ontological Term Details

Metabolite
HMDB0001261 (Coproporphyrinogen III)
Term
Porphyrin Metabolism
Definition
delta-aminolevulinic acid (ala) is also called 5-aminolevulinic acid. following its synthesis ala is transported to the cytosol, where ala dehydratase (also called porphobilinogen synthase) dimerizes 2 molecules of ala to produce porphobilinogen.
